Presidentess – Handmade Reusable Tote Bag

Lead with Grace

Captured circa 1972, I named this bag Presidentess to celebrate Shirley Chisholm, the first African American woman to run for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination. Her slogan, “Unbought and Unbossed,” marked a groundbreaking moment in political history. Using my 2021 photograph of the Fox Theatre marquee lights, I wanted to reflect Chisholm’s radiant, trailblazing presence. The bold text on the bag, “If I was president,” nods to The Pharcyde song—a cultural reflection that imagines new possibilities of power. This tote is both a tribute and a vision: a reminder that to lead with grace is to reimagine what leadership can look like.

Love is a powerful force, and Light symbolizes spiritual understanding and connects us all. Underneath the tote, you'll find both: “Love Light.”

Featuring:

Original Artwork, Timeless Style, and Fade Resistant Colors 

Product Details:

100% Polyester body

‏Please note slight size variations in these bags, ranging from 17.5 to 18 inches.
